List Appveyor projects after a new Slack channel is created
A new channel often starts a new initiative. Give the team an up to date Appveyor project list immediately.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Get Projects
Tool to get a list of all projects for the authenticated account. use after authentication to enumerate available projects.
Why this helps
Project discovery gets delayed when a new initiative starts and nobody knows which Appveyor project already exists.
- Reduce context switching during initiative kickoff
- Expose existing Appveyor projects at the right moment
- Create a repeatable channel onboarding habit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Appveyor in Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation and name the channel onboarding workflow.
- 3Describe that Notis should retrieve Appveyor projects and summarize likely matches for the new channel purpose.
- 4Pick Slackbot New Channel Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by creating one real Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an Appveyor project?
No. It only retrieves the authenticated account's project list with Appveyor Get Projects.
Can Notis recommend a project?
Yes, if the channel name or purpose gives enough context. Otherwise it can report the full list and note that a match is unclear.
